Campus life at Hosei University was quite a unique and a very enjoyable experience. From the first day I got a very positive vibe from the very friendly and helpful staff to the amazing professors and students. I was always supported through everything I needed in Japan even if it’s not related to my studies. I still remember the first email I got from my professor Iyatomi sensei and the director of the IIST program at that time Yana sensei. They helped me make my transition to Japan very smooth, and upon arrival they continued their support as well as the really amazing school stuff. Besides that, the learning curriculum was really amazing, and up to the expectations which helped me level up my skills greatly through the different variety of top courses offered at the IIST program, of course in English. As well as my professor’s continued support throughout my research, something that I still yield the fruits of at my current job everyday thanks to him. I also enjoyed my social life whether with good relationships I made with other IIST students that are still with me till today, or with the Japanese students who helped me and continue to help me explore the Japanese culture and enjoy Japan from many different aspects. I really took maximum advantage from my campus life at Hosei university and I would recommend it to anyone.
My current job role is an algorithm engineer. I do deep learning research and development in computer vision and natural language processing fields. This is exactly the kind of research I learned at Hosei university and especially thanks to my professor Iyatomi sensei and the senior students at my lab. Thanks to that I got the skill of being able to develop and train deep learning models efficiently as well as being able to read and execute the top research in the field. What I learned at Hosei university is what I do everyday at my job
